All By Myself

by alka mendiratta   Jul 29, 2007


Gazing at the stars above
Twilight of the moon
Serenity in the air
Calmness inside

The vast ocean in front
The tides rumbling
Followed by quietude
Reminds of mellowness

The sun glaring high
The warmth,giving energy
To overcome our struggles
Holding high in self-esteem

The evening sky-a hue of colours
Mind blowing cool breeze
The birds flying back to their nest
Resting in peace

The swaying leaves
The greenery furlong
Miles ahead
A path to move

Wonder will that day come
From these gifts of nature
So much to learn
Be able to reach my final goal

Need to practice sincerely
Perform duties with full concentration
Awaken my true nature
With control of my mind

Seep into the Self
Peace within and without
A mind free of thoughts
With faith in my heart.

    You are a great Nature watcher. You are yet away from the 'sordid boon'. I specially liked:

    Wonder will that day come
    From these gifts of nature
    So much to learn
    Be able to reach my final goal

    An inner urge to be one with Nature and learn from it as Wordsworth says:

    This our life exempt from public haunt,
    Finds tongues in trees , books in the running brooks,
    Sermons in stones and good in everything.
